Qemu (used in Xen HVM domains) only provides ba= sic 2D display adapter, so it's not really suitable for gaming. If you want to experiment with unstable/development code, you could try V= T-d to passthrough a graphics adapter (the whole device) to HVM guest. I think there are also some graphics drivers that operate through the network, ie. communicate with dom0 graphics hardware, but I don't have an= y links to those.=20 Xen is mostly a server virtualization software/solution nowadays.. -- Pasi > Mr. Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming) Dip(Mechatronics Engineering)=20 > BEng(Hons)(Mechanical Engineering) >=20 > Technical Support Engineer >=20 > Information Technology Department > =20 > Asiasoft Online Pte Ltd > =20 > Tampines Central 1 #04-01 Tampines Plaza > =20 > Singapore 529541 >=20 > Republic of Singapore > =20 > Mobile Phone: +65-9648-9798 > =20 > MSN: teoenming@hotmail.com >=20 >=20 > -----Original Message----- >=20 > From: Boris Derzhavets >=20 > To: enming.teo@asiasoftsea.net, pasik@iki.fi >=20 > Cc: xen-devel@lists.xensource.com >=20 > Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2009 04:19:13 -0700 (PDT) >=20 > Subject: RE: [Xen-devel] Unable to Configure Xen Dom 0 in Jeremy's PVOP= S=20 > Kernel >=20 >=20 >=20 >=20 > It's really exciting ;) >=20 > Boris. >=20 > --- On Tue, 7/28/09, Teo En Ming wrote: >=20 > From: Teo En Ming > Subject: RE: [Xen-devel] Unable to Configure Xen Dom 0 in Jeremy's PVOP= S=20 > Kernel > To: "Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming)" , pasik@ik= i.fi > Cc: "'Boris Derzhavets'" ,=20 > xen-devel@lists.xensource.com > Date: Tuesday, July 28, 2009, 7:07 AM >=20 >=20 > Hi, >=20 >=20 >=20 > I have also virtualized Windows XP under Xen 3.4.1 RC8 Dom 0 Kernel=20 > 2.6.30 RC6 on OpenSUSE 11.1 Linux 32-bit Host. >=20 >=20 >=20 > Please see screenshots here: >=20 >=20 >=20 > http://teo-en-ming-aka-zhang-enming.blogspot.com/2009/07/my-windows-xp-= hvm-virtual-machine-on.html >=20 >=20 >=20 > Can I change the emulated display adapter driver in Windows XP HVM=20 > guest under Xen to a better one so that I can play games?
